These agencies have been authorised to supply a wide range of workers to the various departments of the government — project coordinator, engineer, teacher, content writer, clerk, librarian, telephone operator, driver, carpenter, gardener, lift operator, sweeper, and peon.
The process for the fresh bids began in September 2021, which was completed by April 2022. Out of 26 applications, 10 agencies were awarded the contract. However, one firm was later removed from the list after it came under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate.
Kapil Patil, a Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, told The Quint: “The government is creating two groups of employees in its own system – one that has job security, good pay and gets all the worker entitlements, and the other that works below minimum wage, has no job security and no worker benefits.”
